I’ve been able to successfully export models before, but on this particular model, I click export and the Run icon continues to spin indefinitely, with no GEM file ever being created. The same thing happens on Model Viewer classic and V2. The POMF file is only 544 KB. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi @clarkd78,
Sorry about that. Can you share the PoMF with me? Everything looks fine from your screenshot. You can email it to me or send it in a private message if you don’t want to share it publicly.
Also, what version of the Revit plugin are you using?
Hi @clarkd78,
Thank you for sharing the model with me via email. I just shared the fixed model with you, with a recording that shows how to fix the issue.
The problem was caused because of the two rooms that had line-like segments. One on the 2nd floor and another one on the 5th.
Part of our routine tries to breakdown the faces with holes (since IESVE doesn’t handle them natively), and in this case, having a line-like segment was causing the algorithm to get into an infinite loop. After removing the problematic segments everything works as expected.
Let me know if you have any other question.
I’ll document this case for @chriswmackey to see if we can fix these cases automatically or give the user a proper validation error.

Thanks, @mostapha .
Line-like rooms already have a Validation Error as you can see documented here. But that error is for rooms that are so line like that they have zero volume. I see this case is a different.
I can probably just find a way to just make sure that the hole-processing routine of this case does not get caught in an infinite loop and still exports the GEM. I think it’s clear what the user wants to happen in the case of this geometry and so we probably do not need a validation error for it.
Just document it for me with the POMF file, @mostapha , and I will have a look.
